A neat snack for your spring theme party or Easter celebration: mozzarella chicks marinated in curry and cherry tomatoes on a stick. Easy to make and it will sure impress kids or grown-up lovers of cute food. You can serve these skewers as a party snack, garnish salads with it, take them to a picnic or put them in a lunchbox.

I prepared these skewers before Easter but didn’t find time to post it until now, sorry :-P

mini-mozzarella (if you can’t get your hands on this, you can probably replace it by scooping out balls from other cheeses like gouda, etc. Cube-shaped pieces might be nice as well. Or smash and mix feta with cream cheese to form little balls.)

curry powder

carrot

black sesame

cherry tomatoes (must be oval-shaped if you want to make hearts)

Marinate the mozzarella in a 1:3 curry-water mixture for about an hour, then rinse gently with cold water. Pierce mozzarella and cherry tomatoes with a skewer.

Cut out a triangle from a carrot like shown in the picture and then slice it thinly with a knife or mandolin slicer.

I was actually going to make little mozz chick heads like these on top of hardboiled eggs (a la the penguin eggs from taste of home–http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Egg-Penguins) but ran out of time. Good job!!
